Akron, Ohio – Administrators at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School were notified on January 31, 2018 that Marcus Wattley was resigning from his position as head football coach to continue his coaching career with the University of Akron Football Team.

“Our school would like to wish Coach Wattley the best as he moves on to the University of Akron to further his coaching career. Coach Wattley is a man of high character, what he is leaving behind, we will continue to build upon our high football tradition. We appreciate everything Marcus has done for our school and we wish him the best of luck as he continues his coaching career at the University of Akron,” said athletic director Willie McGee.
